Abstract

Using a finite element method we have analyzed a multilayered thin-film recording head structure having a thin-film superconducting spacer. We have used this method to obtain simulated output responses of the head to an ideally recorded medium. The results of the analysis for a specific geometry show that the superconducting spacer improves the efficiency of such heads by about 50%. Also, significant improvements are obtained by not completely filling the gap region and by making the superconducting film shorter than the head elements. Gap erosion was found to degrade the performance of these devices severely.
